Question
Problem 1: A closed tank contains 0.5m of air, 1.5 of oil, 1.0 of water and 10cm of mercury. The gauge
pressure of air above the oil surface is 0.6 atmosphere and the barometer reading is 730mm of
mercury. If the pressure at the bottom of the tank is 19.654m of water absolute, determine:
1. The specific gravity of oil:
a. 0.684
b. 0.762
c. 0.891
d. none of these
2. The absolute pressure in kPa at the interface of water and mercury is:
a. 42.4
c. 76.28
b. 62.81
d. none of these
